Recap:
Amu slowly brought her gaze up to have her golden hazel nut eyes meet indigo blue eyes. She shyly gave the bluenette a small smile. "Ah…Hi…"
End of recap
Ikuto was left was left speechless at the sight of his beloved pinkette. With his speechless respond Amu started to worry that Ikuto in fact didn't like how she was dressed. She started to step back little by little heading for the open car door. Youichi noticed her intentions, and elbowed Ikuto behind his knee making him bend on reflexes. Ikuto looked down towards Youichi to see why he had elbowed him only to see him indirectly pointing towards Amu. The bluenette turned his attention towards the pinkette and saw that Youichi wanted. He quickly acted and walked towards Amu taking her hand within his own.
Amu swiftly looked up to have her golden hazel nut eyes met azure. "Where are you going?" He asked as he started to lead her towards the entrance of the restaurant. "The restaurant is this way." He added gaining him a dusty pink shade brush upon her cheeks. Just as the three were about to enter the restaurant Ikuto bent down beside Amu's ear and whispered. "You look absolutely exquisite Amu." Upon hearing those words Amu's blush grew darker then when it started it out. This little scene didn't go unnoticed by the young lad as he rolled his eyes at the bluenette's actions. The three walked up to the up to the recipient's booth and were greeted by a male waiter.
"Table for Tsukiyomi." Ikuto said without waiting for the waiter to ask anything. The man look through the open book he had placed in front of him.
"Ah yes Mr. Aruto Ikuto Tsukiyomi IV." Ikuto nodded. The waiter flashed a friendly smile and jester the three towards the dining tables.
"Right this way please." The waiter guided the couple and the young lad towards the center of the whole dining room. When arriving to their table Ikuto –being the gentlemen that he is- pulled out Amu's chair for her.
"Thank you." She said with a charming smile. He then helped Youichi into his seat once the three were seated the waiter then individually gave each a menu.
"Can I start you off with anything to drink?" I waiter asked as he took out a writing pad and a pen.
"Some wine for my date and I and-" Before Ikuto had a chance to finish his sentence Youichi cut him off.
"I'll have my usual drink please." The couple looks at the young lad with a questionable look.
"What? My parents and I come here often." The couple blinked for a few second before they brushed it off.
"Alright then," said the waiter as he finished writing down Youichi drink. "Would you also want any appetizers?"
"I would love a plate of dumplings." Amu said towards the waiter.
"Just the plate of dumplings?" He asked as he stared at Amu. Ikuto quickly answered as he saw that the waiter was eyeing his precious pinkette.
"Yes that would be all." Ikuto responded with a cold tone making the waiter lightly finch.
"Al-Alright then I'll be back shortly with your drinks. Excuse me." With those words the young waiter hastily walked away. When he was out of sight Amu turn towards Ikuto with a light glared.
"What was that…Why did you act so cold towards him at that point." She asked however, she was completely ignored as Ikuto turn his head away like a child pouting. The atmosphere changed from calm to tense. Youichi looked back and forth between the two adults. After a minute of silence the young lad grew tiresome of the silence.
"Amu," He called out gaining her attention. "What's kind of cake is my cake going to be?"
"Oh…um, I was thinking of a marble cake," she answered earning a smile from Youichi. "What flavors would you like to have Youichi?"
"Can I have strawberry and chocolate?" Amu smiled at the young lad.
"Sure and what about the color of the frosting." Youichi thought for a moment before he answered Amu's question.
"White but with a chocolate mint flavor." Amu nodded with a smile. Upon hearing the small conversation that Youichi and Amu had Ikuto grew interested and decided to join in to the conversation.
"What's the cake for Youichi?" Youichi glanced over towards the bluenette and flashed him a grin.
"It's for my birthday," Youichi said with a bright smile. "Amu's has been making cakes for me for a year now and they're the best." Ikuto glanced over at Amu from the corner of his eye and flashed her small smirk. Amu took notice and quickly turned hide her face to hide the a light blush that spread upon her cheek.
"They are the best aren't they?" Ikuto said as he kept glancing over at Amu. Youichi tilted his head in confusing not understand that Ikuto had a double meaning to it.
"So when is your birthday Youichi?" Ikuto asked to get the other statement out of his mind.
"The day after tomorrow," Youichi answered
"May I attend?" Youichi stared at Ikuto when he asked the question.
"Sure," He said and took a pause before continuing. "On one condition." Youichi said this caught Ikuto attention as he stared at the young lad.
"Oh~ and what would this condition be exactly?" Youichi took the chance and lean closer to Ikuto to the point where the young lad was cupping the bluenette's ear with his petit hands and whispered the condition into his ear.
Amu grew curious on what Youichi was whispering to Ikuto. She knew from past experience that the boy was planning something. The young lad was all too much like his father and got what he wanted in the end so whatever the lad was asking for he will get. Amu analyzed Ikuto's face to see if there were any face expressions. However, to her lucky the man was too good in hiding his emotions. She then see's Youichi pulling back and faced Ikuto with a smile drawn upon his lips.
"Deal?" Ikuto gave Youichi a wicked grin and nodded his head.
"You have a deal my dear boy."
"What are you guys talking about?" Amu boldly asked the two. The two turned their attention towards their beloved pinkette flashing her an innocent smile.
"Oh~ Nothing important." Amu knew that wasn't true it was important –to her at least.- Those two were up to something –only question is what was it?
The waiter came back with another fellow co-worker following behind him with a stand that held the bottle of wine with two empty wine glasses and another glass with some liquid in it while the main waiter was holding the silver tray with the plate of dumplings. The waiter with the wine placed the stand in between Amu's and Ikuto's seats and placed the other glass in front of Youichi. While the other waiter placed the plate of dumpling in the middle. Once the two waiters finished placing everything Amu smiled up at the two.
"Thank you." With Amu's radiant smile the waiters lightly blushed.
"A-Are you ready to order?" The first waiter asked with a stutter in his sentence.
"Yes I'll have the Penne Alla Vodka." Ikuto quickly said with a strong tone making the waiters flinch a bit.
"Ah…right and for you Miss." The waiter asked but avoided eye contact with Amu instead he looked straight pass her.
"I'll have a Risotto." He nodded and wrote down her order and moved on to Youichi.
"And I'll have Ravioli." The waiter nodded again and wrote it down. When finishing writing everything down the two waiters gave a small bow and excused them.
It took less than ten minutes for the food to reach their tables. Three waiters came this time each holding a silver tray with one plate in each. They each went around and stood behind the three customers. The first waiter that spoke placed down a plate of Ravioli in front of Youichi.
"Here is your Ravioli Young Sir Hyuuga." Youichi sniffed the air of his dish and smiled.
"Thank you."
"Here is your Risotto Mrs. Tsukiyomi." Amu lightly blushed at being called Mrs. Tsukiyomi.
"Ah…Thank you." Amu said as she showed a shy smile.
"Here is your Penne Alla Vodka Mr. Tsukiyomi."
"Thank you." The three waiters then went to stand side by side and gave a small bow.
"Will there be anything else that you would like?" One of the waiters asked.
Ikuto shook his head, "No that will be all." With that said the three waiters left to leave the Tsukiyomi "family" to eat in peace. Amu gave a small sigh as she look towards Ikuto.
"You didn't have to say it so harshly you know." Amu said as she picked up her spoon and started to eat her Risotto.
"Well they shouldn't have been eyeing you since we got here." Ikuto responded as he picked up his fork and started to eat his Penne Alla Vodka.
"Must you both fight while we're eating dinner? Especially on this valentine's day," Youichi said making the couple zip there mouth's close. The two looked away from each other –Amu was picking at her food while Ikuto took a sip of his wine. Amu glanced up at Ikuto as she slowly open her mouth to speak.
"I'm sorry."
There's eyes widen – the two had spoken in union. It took seconds before the two gave a giggle/chuckle. As for Youichi he rolled his eyes as she stared at the two.
"You two are worse them my parents when they act all sappy with love" Ikuto gave Youichi a grin as he patted Youichi's head.
"You'll understand on day squirt when you grow up." Youichi gave a pout as he swatted the bluenette's hand away.
The rest of the dinner was peaceful and comforting. Ikuto kept on asking Amu about her life –during the one year they were apart- and how she has been doing. Amu feeling comfortable and relax by that point started to open up to Ikuto and talked about her one year life after leaving Seiyo. As she was talking about her life Youichi would at some point was interjecting comments on some of the events that she was telling in her story. Ikuto actually noticed that he was feeling felt out of the whole conversation. For the first time in his life he was feeling jealous over a kid that had spent a year with his pinkette while he only spent one day with her since the cotillion. Once Amu was done finishing her brief summary of her life she looked over at Ikuto and gave him a bright smile.
"What about you Ikuto?" She asked as she turns to look at him. Ikuto was so caught up in his train of thought that when Amu directed a question to him he felt like a deer caught in headlights. It took about a minute for the question she asked to sink into his head as he composted himself and returned the smile and answered her question.
Bisoux De Chocolat
"Wait…what?" Amu asked as she stared down at Youichi with a dumbfounded look.
"Yup I asked Nagihiko to take me back to your house and looked after me while you and Ikuto go somewhere to be .ne~." Youichi said with a smirk plastered on his lips. Amu was left mouth-wide open at what she was hearing the young lad's mouth. Ikuto stood beside her as he placed his index finger underneath her chin and closed her mouth ever so gently.
"You shouldn't keep your mouth open like that you wouldn't want to catch a bug in that beautiful mouth." Amu gave Ikuto a quick side glance glare as a soft pink blush dusted her cheek. She looked back at Youichi who was walking towards her, as he stood in front of her with his small hand extended out towards her. She raised an eyebrow at the extended hand towards her questions on what the child was asking for.
"Your keys…I'm going to need them to open your house." He said as he answered her unspoken question.
"Youichi you know your father would kill me if I left you alone."
"If I was alone, however," he said as he took a pause as he pointed over his shoulder towards Nagihiko. "I'm not going to be alone Nagi is going to be there until you get home…If you get home." He muttered the last part so that she wouldn't hear. Amu gave him a look as she looked towards Nagi to see if he had any problem with it. What she found was a smiled placed on his lips telling her unspoken words "I'm completely fine with it." Her eyes came back to stared at Youichi. As her hand reached into her pocket and took out her house keys.
"…Hm…well if Nagi doesn't mind then-" Before she had a chance to finish her sentence Youichi jumped up and took the keys away from her and ran over towards Nagi as he shouted over his shoulder.
"Thanks Amu I'll see back home." With that both Youichi and Nagihiko were both gone in a blink of an eye.
"What just happened?" Amu asked to no one in particular.
"You just got played." Ikuto responded. Amu turns to face the bluenette as he stared straight into her golden hazel nut eyes a soft smile placed upon his lips. Without Amu noticing Ikuto had laced his fingers together with hers. By the time she noticed that their hands were linked together Ikuto was bring her hand up towards his face as he plated a gently and tender kiss on the back of her hand as she kept his eyes located on hers. Amu blushed at the sudden action and tried to take back her hand and pull it into her chest. However, each time she tugged the tighter his grip became. He gently pulled her into his open arms as he encaged her there. He placed his lips just beside her earlobe and softly whispered into her ear.
"I'm not letting you go…Not this time."
